Publisher's summary

“A stunning story about family and hope that unfolds unexpectedly but beautifully, like a Michigan summer sunset over an orchard.” (Viola Shipman, best-selling author of The Summer Cottage and The Clover Girls)

In cherry season, anything is possible....

Everything Hope knows about the Orchard House is from the stories of her late mother. So when she arrives at the northern Michigan family estate late one night with a terrible secret and her 10-year-old daughter in tow, she’s not sure if she’ll be welcomed or turned away with a shotgun by the aunt she has never met.

Hope’s aunt, Peg, has lived in the Orchard House all her life, though the property has seen better days. She agrees to take Hope in if, in exchange, Hope helps with the cherry harvest - not exactly Hope’s specialty, but she’s out of options. As Hope works the orchard alongside her aunt, daughter and a kind man she finds increasingly difficult to ignore, a new life begins to blossom. But the mistakes of the past are never far behind, and soon the women will find themselves fighting harder than ever for their family roots and for each other.

A great listen

A hopeful story about choice and redemption and love and all the things in between. Also, the narrator was one of the best I've heard in all my years of listening to stories. I'm glad I took a chance on this book. Thank you, Ms. Fader and Ms. Peterson.

A wonderful story of women blooming through the darkest nights

Molly has a wonderful style of writing that draws you in without have you had to descriptions or introspective word play. Real and raw, yet buoyed up with hope, this is a story about three generations of women in search of sanctuary, who find it both in themselves and in each other, as well as in the community they find themselves in. Love the rural setting and delightfully eclectic characters. Nicely done, Ms. Fader. And Nancy Peterson does a fantastic job of bringing this story off the page - as always.

Good Story and Narrator

Loved the narrator who is very talented when it comes to portraying the emotions of all the characters. Just the right amount of mystery and romance to keep my interest.

Really Enjoyed It

Liked this book, was looking for more by the author but I see she writes mostly romance. Hope there is more women's fiction from her. Great characters, plot created tension. Well narrated.

Secrets can be a terrible thing!

Hope takes her daughter to the only family they have left after leaving her abusive partner. She doesn't plan to stay long, just a couple of days,but home and family have a pull on her even if it is a home she doesn't remember. While she has her secrets, she discovers that her Aunt Peg has secrets also. Secrets have a way of changing your life and not staying buried.
This is the first book of Molly Fader's I have listened to, but I hope to read more!
